八.听短文回答问题

今天我们要听的文章谈到美国学校为了帮助外国人学英语而设立的英语教学 计划.

请你注意听.

The United States is primarily an English speaking country. The majority of the population speaks English as their native language. Business, education and most public aspects of life are conducted in English.

Across the country, people pronounce English sounds in several different ways and some regional vocabulary differences exist, but for the most part, Americans speak one common language. This language is sometimes called American English. However, not everyone in the U.S. is a native speaker of English. Most immigrants to the country are speakers of other languages. There are hundreds of communities around the U.S. where English is not the most commonly used language. Chinese, Italian, German, Armenian, Greek, Vietnamese and French are all spoken in numerous communities in the U.S.

Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language after English in the U. S.

It is widely spoken in New York and across the southern part of the country.

For speakers of other languages, learning English is important, but traditionally teaching people to speak English as a second language was given little attention. Non-English speakers were expected to "pick up" the language through contact in public. Recently, this has changed. Today, most large public schools and community colleges have ESL, English as a Second Language, programs. American English teachers feel that English students should learn the language the way they will be using it. Therefore, ESL programs teach different English lessons to different students. Some programs teach students to communicate in English in public. Other programs teach the kind of English people will need on their jobs.

American ESL instructional methods emphasize the importance of communication to language learning. These methods do not feature grammatical explanations and translation.

The instructional goal is to get the English learners to learn by using their target language.
